Abstract
Poly-2-(2,3-dimethylanilino) benzoic acid (PMF) coatings on copper and brass alloy were synthesized by electrochemical oxidation of 2-(2,3-dimethylanilino) benzoic acid in the presence of oxalic acid as the reaction medium. Electrodeposition was carried out using the cyclic voltammetry technique using a silver/silver-chloride standard electrode, with a scan rate of 600 mV min–1. Smooth and well adhered PMF coatings were electrosynthesized during sequential scanning of the potential in the range–500 mV to 1400 mV on copper and brass alloy. The electrodeposited coatings were characterized by recording the oxidation peaks at 122 mV for Cu and–0.7 mV for brass, in cyclic voltammetry and using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Corrosion inhibition efficiency of coated copper and brass alloy was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The impedance results showed that the inhibition efficiency of coated copper is 89% and for coated brass 79.4% compared to the uncoated copper and brass in 0.1 M H2SO4.
